Overview:
Description of service:
If you have a qualifying event at any time during the year (birth of a child, adoption or placement for adoption, marriage or divorce) you may qualify for special enrollment to our health care plan. However, an enrollment form must be submitted within 30 days of the qualifying event, or you will have to wait until the next open enrollment period. This means the paperwork needs to be submitted to the Borough’s Human Resources before the end of the time frame (supporting documentation can be submitted later than the 30 days but keep in mind claims will not be paid on any new dependents until the supporting documentation has been received).
Before submitting this request:
Please Note: Social Security numbers are required for all dependents. DO NOT Attach any supporting documents to this ticket or include SSN or Dates of Birth in the request fields. Such documentation may be brought to the Human Resources office or submitted by email to: borough.human.resources@matsugov.us (For your safety, we recommend encrypting all emails that contain private health information.)
How we process this request:
Your question will be submitted to the Human Resources department and distributed to the appropriate person. That person will reach out to you for more information, to discuss your changes further and/or request supporting documentation.

Changes That May Trigger A Qualifying Event:
Marriage – please provide a copy of the marriage certificate. Step-children are also covered (you will need to provide birth certificates).
Divorce - Your spouse is only covered until the last day of the month that the divorce is final. You must inform the Borough Human Resources once your divorce is final so that Cobra paperwork can be sent in a timely manner. If the employee fails to notify the Borough Human Resources of the divorce and claims are paid on the spouse, the employee may be responsible for those charges.
Birth or adoption of a child – please provide a certified copy of the birth certificate or adoption papers.
